Hello,
I need to show information froma legacy Siemens environment talking Sinec H1 in my HMI and are looking for a driver for the Sinec H1 protocol. A converter from Sinec H1 to TCP/IP also might do. Any suggestions?

Herman.

 

Hello Herman;
Gateways exist, but can be very expensive. Look at Prolinx Gateways, or here:

Drivers also exist, but what is your environment. Which HMI are you using. Many commercial HMIs have integrated drivers (or OPC packages) that can communicate with Sinec H1.
What programming software, Visual-C, C-C++, Visual Basic... would you like to integrate a driver in?
Have you thought of OPC, such as Kepware, to connect to your program?

Hope this helps,
Daniel Chartier
